Next Years weather.

J. Williams ThorHe of Lancaster county
writes to the West Chester Patage Record as
follows The winter of lss7-s will be
moderate one. There will be but few cold
days; scarcely any in which the mercury in
the ia rmometer will stand at or below zero:
there will not be more than three or four
weeks of good sleighing. most likely, not 50
delphia viii not be so firmly frozen over as
10 seriously obstruct navigation. There will
not be more than one heavy snowfall most
probably not any that will obstruct the high
ways. Spring win open more than usually
early. Oats will be sown and potatoes plan
ted before the end of March There will be
no frosts in April or May sufficiently severe
To injure the fruit. The summer will be
moderately warm with enough rain to insure
good crops of grain and grass generally. The
crops of wheat and corn will be more than
usually heavy Apples. peaches. pears and
cherries will be abundant and of a good
quality.
The basis of these predictions is the we'll
known astronomical fact that the earth, the
sun and the moon occupy very nearly the
same position every ~ years, and that the
heat of the sun. the attraction of the sun
and moon and the revolution of the earth
on its axis. are the chief cause Of all the
movements in the earth's atmosphere 1t is
true that the larger plants exert per,urbing
influence sufficient to modify these atmos-
pheric phenomena resulting from the sun
and moon But this perturbing influence is
scarcely felt except when the attracting force
Of several planets is exerted in the same or
nearly the same direction Whatever the
amount of this perturbation il is susceptible
Of calculation. and no doubt it will be deter
mined in the near future
